Troubleshooting > Troubleshoot Dispatcher
Dispatcher requests go to terminal state due to large number of files open
On a Linux server, if the number of open dispatcher requests is greater than the number of files the server can handle, the extra dispatcher requests go to the terminal state. To fix this, run the ulimit utility and update the nofile argument with the number of files or requests you want Dispatcher to handle at a time. Example: Copy $ ulimit -n 65536
